Mama June Shannon’s Child Molester Boyfriend Mark McDaniel Threatened To Kill Anna Cardwell

Mark McDaniel is a monster, and he showed it in 2004 when he molested eight-year-old Anna Cardwell, the daughter of “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” star Mama June Shannon. He served ten years in prison for his crimes and was released in March 2014. Since then, Shannon has started dating McDaniel again, making her daughter feel like their relationship is ruined.

McDaniel proved to be a vile child molester (as if there are any other kinds) and what he did to Cardwell is reprehensible. He even went as far as molesting Anna Cardwell while her much younger sister was in the same bed.

McDaniel’s behavior only escalates as we now know he threatened to kill his victim if she reported his wrongdoings. It’s not only sickening that Mama June is back with McDaniel after his prison release, but it also shows that she didn’t believe her eight-year-old daughter’s account to begin with.

We have learned that McDaniel sexually abused Cardwell for at least six months when she was eight-years-old. Unfortunately, she was terrified of him and didn’t come forward until a year later in 2003. A police source revealed, “Anna had told a teacher…she had been molested by her stepfather Mark McDaniel. Anna stated that Mark told her not to tell because he would not like her anymore. Anna advised she got tired of holding it in and had to tell.”

Cardwell’s ex-boyfriend said previously, “Anna told me that McDaniel threatened that if she ever told her grandparents what happened to her, he’d kill them and her. That’s how he made her shut up about the rapes.”

When the news broke that Shannon and McDaniel were actively dating again, naturally Cardwell was feeling hurt.

June Shannon has denied dating Mark McDaniel, but all of the evidence produced suggests otherwise. In fact, she was going house hunting with him and purchasing a vehicle for him. It wasn’t long before the claims became public knowledge and TLC packed up the show “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” and stopped production completely.

Mark McDaniel should feel ashamed for what he’s done and despite having done the time for his crime, he is still a sick individual and should not be around children whatsoever. June Shannon should also have her head examined for having him in her life again and allowing him access to her young daughter Alana.
